if you're complaining about their behavior and then you stand in the  
way on purpose, you're doing the same thing they are ... putting  
yourself and another person in harm's way needlessly ... and  
contradicting the implicit judgment you've made with your complaint.  
That puts you into the same class of hooliganism that they are  
practicing: "I can do what I want without respecting anyone else."

All possibilities invite when you're still young and immortal ...
